Driving the Aerosoft  CRJ steering wheel with the MSFS Nose Wheel Steering Axis

The new NOSE WHEEL STEERING AXIS function in the Controls assignments in MSFS
allows to drive the nose wheel separately from the rudder.
In the Aerosoft CRJ, this requires three steps.
 

1 – Assigning an axis to the NOSE WHEEL STEERING AXIS function

2 – Activating the use of the above function in the EFB of the aircraft
3 – Arm the steering wheel control in the aircraft

Let see this in details.

STEP 1 :
Assign the axis of your steering wheel to the NOSE WHEEL STEERING AXIS function in MSFS.
Note :  I am using a general purpose USB interface from LeoBodnar
and a 10kOhm potentiometer.
The way it is wired requires the REVERSE AXIS box to be checked.
This may not be the case with your system.
